Portfolio - WEBSITES & WEB APPLICATIONS

Below are some of the websites that we've worked on in the past, both "brochure websites" which act as online presentations of our clients, whether they be businesses or individuals, and "e-commerce websites" which allow our clients to sell their products and services online.

The list also shows some of our systems or web applications, functional and efficient online tools that we created and developed to promote better productivity for businesses and individuals alike.

Below our portfolio, you can read what our clients have said about working with us.

Alpine Massage

The old website was completely obsolete in terms of technology, and therefore needed upgrading. This was also an opportunity to modernise the general presentation, from dark to light and pastel colours.

Aquarelles Cassy

A new website for the Chamonix based water-colours artist "Cassy" (Sylvie Canale). The aim of the website was to offer a modern and attractive website to help showcase the paintings of Cassy, and be able to easily edit contents without the need to get a developer involved.

Chalet Cerisier, Chamonix

Modernising of the presentation website for Chalet Cerisier located in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. The website needed to be updated to modern standards and be made responsive so it displays nicely on all types of devices (smartphones, tablets, computers...).

Chamonix All Year

The Chamonix All Year website was developed by another communications agency, powered by the "open-source" WordPress platform.

The website being a large website with lots of content and an integration with a property management system, Chamonix All Year asked Sesame Web to optimise the site to help improve its loading times and general performances.

By combining the various themes into one, and regrouping and removing all superfluous contents from all scripts, then removing all unnecessary "plugins", we achieved a much shorter loading time, and the global ranking of the website gained several million places as soon as the optimised version was published.

We also improved the navigation of the website to help provide a better user experience on all types of devices (computers, tablets, mobiles).

Evergreen Endurance

We are proud to have realised the website for Chamonix's new sporting event: the very exciting Evergreen Endurance Triathlon. This website has a very graphical presentation, and is full responsive to various screen widths, meaning it displays adequately on desktops, tablets and mobile phones.

Oleti

The first project we've worked on since the launch of Sesame Web, O'Leti was built using our very own content management system (CMS) - Seeds CMS. This system offers the professional, reliable and easy-to-use experience which our busy clients require.

In early 2018 with Flore we updated the website for more modernity and a change of the information regarding the services she offers.

Kids OT

This website for a children's occupational therapist based in Co. Kildare, Ireland was built with a fun kids theme, taking our inspiration from their existing logo. The background changes every 20 seconds, rotating through different lively images.

Chamonix Hiking Club

The website is the home of the Chamonix Hiking Club. Our client wanted to be able to update the site easily and regularly, as well as updating events that his subscribers would be able to confirm their attendance too, as well as adding photos and more information. The background image changes regularly.

TIMA.IO - Time Management

Originally conceived as a personal tool to record hours worked, holiday, tasks and notes, TIMA.io has evolved into an online solution aimed at individuals and businesses who wish to track, record and analyse time spent on work projects.

It is open to the public - all you need to get started is a user account (available for free). Some tools are only available as part of one of our affordable subscriptions.

Jigsaw.Solutions

Jigsaw is a bespoke web application created for a client who wished to consolidate property management data for their portfolio of properties (apartments, chalets etc.). Key features include a tool to take and manage biannual inventories, tasks tracker to analyse time spent and costs incurred, and a linen stock management system for bedding, towels etc. The application provides a centralised database for all acquired knowledge about each property, allowing for better productivity in the business.

Carbon Calculator

We created a carbon footprint calculator that a person can use to find out and potentially offset the emissions of carbon gasses linked to a trip.

The calculator handles various modes of travel: flight, car, motorbike and bus. The volumes of emissions are calculated based on official data and emission factors provided by French and European environment agencies.

The calculator was initially created to allow athletes taking part in the Evergreen Endurance triathlons to offset the carbon emissions caused by their travels, but is also available to any other entity or business wishing to integrate in their own website in a "white label" mode.

The funds collected via the calculator are handled by Evergreen Endurance, and will help fund local environment projects in and around the Chamonix valley.

Nicolas & Kerry from Sesame Web were an absolute pleasure to work with in designing our site. We were very impressed with the professional demeanour and personal attention that we received throughout the entire process.

Two things that set this company apart from the rest are the turnaround rate and the price, our site was completed in less than two weeks and the final price was lower than any quote that we received from competing designers.

The quality of work done by this company is commensurate with some of the best web designers in the business and the team at Sesame Web are both professional and courteous. We have more than recouped our outlay on our new site which has seen a measurable upturn in visits that we have converted to new clients.

Nicolas also proved to be very proficient in the use of Google Analytics which has also enabled us to both monitor and increase traffic flow. We would definitely recommend Sesame Web to any business in need of an affordable, functional and user-friendly website.

Debbie & Jon Massif Property Services

Debbie & Jon have signed up to use our online application Jigsaw Solutions to help them manage their business day-to-day. Below is what they say about us.

Jigsaw Solutions is everything you could wish for in a company and both Nicolas and his partner are a delight to deal with, no problem too big to solve and seem to be always at the end of telephone if required. The software that Nicolas has developed has been simply amazing and the scope for the future has no limits. Nicolas and Kerry took our brief and because they work and understand the business we are in, it made explaining very straight forward and they got our needs and excelled.

When we got the database software, it had everything we asked for and more, some things we didn’t even think about. I can recommend this company to anyone, knowing that the service they will receive is second to none and what all companies should aspire too. Thank you Nic and Kerry, keep up the good work.

Jo & Nick, Chamonix All Year

Here's what the owners of Chamonix All Year, a company using our Jigsaw.Solutions Property Management System, have to say about us.

We needed an online product to keep on top of everything going on in our business, and ensure jobs were delegated, completed and successfully billed to clients. Jigsaw has proved invaluable in helping us over the last year and communicate as a team.

Bruno, Evergreen Endurance

This testimonial is a recommendation that our client Bruno wrote on a Facebook post as someone was looking for a web developer.

Highly recommend Nicolas Pirlot, whom I can't seem to tag here (Sesame Web is his company) who can speak and write many languages, understand website design, real coding and advertising. The best in town!!

Samanna, Amano Designs

This testimonial was a recommendation on a Facebook post as someone was looking for a web developer.

Highly recommend Nicolas Pirlot of Sesame Web, he is simply a genius who writes his own programmes and can always find a solution to your specific needs, being fluent in many languages as well is a great bonus, super nice and humble guy that you will simply love to sit down with to discuss about your website needs. And I am not getting paid to say this
